Hehe i wish i had money to burn Paul, but im only trying to find the best option... i would prefer a new ECU rather a 2nd hand one... So far the best new pice i found for a PFC is $1200 with h/c + gotta gut a Z32 AFM $350 then $450 for tune = $2000 so by going EMS Stinger ill be saving $200...

There is an LT12 with plug in adaptor for $1100 on these forums.

Install is free, cause it has the plug. Tunes for microtech are usually under $450. My full tune was $300 with a very good tuner.

You are looking at $1500 all up and don't need to worry about AFM.

Thats a better option, as its $300 cheaper than your first idea, also is built for 6cyls.

Yeah fair call. Stick with your tuner for sure!

If you are trying to save money though, I'd find a tuner that was happy with microtech.

I have gone from stock to Microtech's in TWO cars. Both cars felt like different machines after the full tune. Idle was mint, mid range was so strong and response was improved heaps.

Don't worry about the new LT series microtech's, any tuner who knows what they are doing with one, will give you a smooth result, fit for a track or dailey driven car.

As you say tho, if you like your tuner, he says EMS, I'd stick with it for sure.

Tuners option FTW!

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
